2 T h e A e r o The Aero Coupe and Aero SuperSport advanced supercars. They share a proven Morgan brand DNA, light weight and responsive handling. Comfort is combined with speed and control. With over a thousand on the road around the world the Aero has developed a strong following amongst enthusiasts. An ultra stiff aluminium chassis braces the 4.8litre BMW V8 and the 6 speed automatic or manual transmission. The new Aero Coupe makes the platform more ridgid and is inspired by the GT3 Aero that has enjoyed recent racing victories. The enclosed cockpit of the coupe body style takes the Aero experience on to the next level in terms of performance whilst the Aero SuperSports affords the driver an opportunity to enjoy both enclosed and open air motoring as and when they desire. Manufactured with the highest quality materials formed from tooling and hand assembled by craftsmen at the foot of the Malvern Hills, the pioneering Aero platform continues to demonstrate British engineering at its very best.

3 T h e A e r o C o u p e Made from aluminium, a third of the weight of steel, the Morgan Aero Coupe combines performance with environmental responsibility and a high level of safety. With a fixed roof and enclosed cabin adds a sense of security and silence and is only impressed upon by the intoxicating purr of the BMW V8 and acceleration which is felt throughout your body. The impressive performance is further exaggerated by the enticing view down the elegant bonnet. Long term durability of the rigid bonded chassis is ensured with proven chemical coating. Following research by the Company on the race track, on the road and in automotive laboratories the design of this versatile platform has been consistently improved and re-engineered. Now the Morgan Motor Company is a class leader in this chassis technology.

5 The cockpit of the Aero Coupe is a delightful place to be. Specified to suit your exact taste every detail is a pleasure to behold. A powerful sound system creates audio definition as crisp as the lines of the exterior. Real ash wood surrounds the cockpit and doors and can be hand polished in a colour of your choosing. The leather work is stitched with twin needles and can be combined with suede effect panels for contrast and a dynamic sporty feel. Pressure point reclining seats support the occupants strongly and great care has been taken to ensure that the driver has a masterful position from which to control the car. Reliability is ensured with the BMW V8 and a six speed automatic transmission. This can be operated in two modes, Sport and Auto. In Sport mode the engine holds its gear to 6500rpm and blips the throttle before making a down shift. With a power to weight ratio of 320bhp per tonne, a 0-62mph of 4.5 seconds and a top speed nearing 170mph is effortlessly achievable.

6 A e r o s u p e r s p o r t Twin solid alloy roofs can be removed and stored in the boot, which allows the occupants to appreciate to the full the beauty of their natural environment. The processes used to make an Aero SuperSports are environmentally sustainable, as are the materials and construction methods. The fuel tank has been positioned to maintain integrity in a collision and further improve the good weight distribution the Aero cars boast. A by-product of this is that Aero customers will enjoy an ample boot compartment capable of carrying a great deal of luggage. The aluminium bodywork of the Aero SuperSports is Superformed. The whole car is effectively blown into shape, The passenger compartment has a layer of ash hardwood sandwiched between the alloy outer body panels and the rigid aluminium chassis. This wood will absorb energy and will help maintain the longevity of the alloy body over the life of the car. Morgan calls this process 21st Century Coach building. Fine leathers, detailed instrumentation and real materials adorn the luxury cockpit. Individually personalised to your taste from a comprehensive options list, exclusivity is guaranteed as standard.

8 The interiors of the Aero range cars have been designed to stimulate the senses. To the touch: the silky smooth feel of the hand polished Ash and the soft natural hand stitched leather. To the smell: naturally tanned leather To the eyes: beautifully finished and carefully crafted, and with a huge choice of colour combinations. To the ear: from the re-assuring clunk of the coach built doors to the rumble of the powerful V8. Every aspect of the interior has been designed to look attractive but look superbly functional. ABS, Cruise Control, and Electronic Brake Distribution do not diminish the experience. In fact the intelligent use of such technologies allows the driver to get the most out of the car in all conditions.

Morgan Design has developed a range of recommended colour options, all of which compliment the unique form. On the Aero SuperSports the wheels and roof section are provided in two distinct themes; metallic Midnight Black and Steel Silver, which visually lower the roof line adding to the impression of speed. For those with other colours in mind, either model can be painted in an infinite spectrum of colours as a cost option. Ash wood is used to frame the cabin, dash top and doors. Carefully selected, cut, and prepared to a silky finish, four tints are available to ensure a perfect match for any interior selection. We use only the finest grade leather and offer a choice of around 80 colours. Morgan Design have suggested a range from these choices which compliment perfectly the recommended paint options. The interior style can be further enhanced with quilted stitching or suede effect fabric applied to the seat centres, door and roof panels. The stitching comes in a variety of colours to either contrast or blend with the leather of choice.
